The kill() method is just a stub, written back when I thought the way
to do this is for the main thread to terminate the worker thread.
Now, after more reading, I realize it's better to have the worker
test a condition periodically and exit (gracefully) if necessary.
The withObject_ parameter can be used to pass a reference back to the
original thread. This is useful when the new thread executes a
method in a different class. I ended up just calling a method in the
same class, like this:
from Foundation import *
from AppKit import *
import objc, time
from PyObjCTools import NibClassBuilder
class PyThreadAppDelegate(NibClassBuilder.AutoBaseClass):
def init(self):
self = super(PyThreadAppDelegate, self).init()
return self
def go_(self, sender):
print 'go_'
self.continueFlag = True
#t = Threaded.alloc().init()
NSThread.detachNewThreadSelector_toTarget_withObject_(
'newThread:', self, None)
def kill_(self, sender):
print 'kill_'
self.continueFlag = False
@objc.signature('v:@')
def newThread_(sender):
pool = NSAutoreleasePool.alloc().init()
print 'Threaded', sender
for i in range(10):
if sender.continueFlag:
time.sleep(1)
print i
del pool
